ice: xsk: change batched Tx descriptor cleaning

AF_XDP Tx descriptor cleaning in ice driver currently works in a "lazy"
way - descriptors are not cleaned immediately after send. We rather hold
on with cleaning until we see that free space in ring drops below
particular threshold. This was supposed to reduce the amount of
unnecessary work related to cleaning and instead of keeping the ring
empty, ring was rather saturated.

In AF_XDP realm cleaning Tx descriptors implies producing them to CQ.
This is a way of letting know user space that particular descriptor has
been sent, as John points out in [0].

We tried to implement serial descriptor cleaning which would be used in
conjunction with batched cleaning but it made code base more convoluted
and probably harder to maintain in future. Therefore we step away from
batched cleaning in a current form in favor of an approach where we set
RS bit on every last descriptor from a batch and clean always at the
beginning of ice_xmit_zc().

This means that we give up a bit of Tx performance, but this doesn't
hurt l2fwd scenario which is way more meaningful than txonly as this can
be treaten as AF_XDP based packet generator. l2fwd is not hurt due to
the fact that Tx side is much faster than Rx and Rx is the one that has
to catch Tx up.

FWIW Tx descriptors are still produced in a batched way.
